They never fixed this

The upgrade systems for the Souls games have always been somewhat convoluted, with even the upgrade materials themselves being a bit awkward to collect sometimes. Titanite Demons were added to help provide some materials, but one in particular may be helping more than they were meant to.

I think the crystal lizards in the great hollow also have a chance to drop them.

As a programmer that I am, there would be a possibility that they would put it on purpose to test something. Since it was a fight on a bridge, perhaps they wanted to test that it wouldn't fall or its movement wouldn't cause a problem, and in order not to restart every time, they changed it so that it would reappear when the player rest at the bonfire and go back to testing, and they forgot to change it when they finished, it has happened to me.

[@exodus9001]

It's very neat how the typo has also lead to lore implications that line up in an interesting manner concerning the giant blacksmith deity.

I think its on purpose You never can max all your boss soul weapons in 1 run without him

[@Thebdippy]

You aren't supposed to be able to max out all your equipment in one run, that's why there are limited titanite slabs.

[@Sekiro_lover]

In almost all other souls games u cannot max out all boss weapons so i doubt they would mind that annoyance to the player 🤷

[@cauthrim4298]

@@Thebdippy You can farm Titanite Slabs from Darkwraiths in New Londo. In fact, you can farm any upgrade material in DS1 endlessly.

[@masterblaster2678]

@@cauthrim4298 I wish it was that way in the other games too, even if it is a 0.1% chance, give slab drops dammit. I don't wanna deal with the double health double damage mobs permanently :

I enjoy the musical choice in this video.

[@The_OwO_Shogun]

These are one of the few enemies I fear. Not fear as in “Be careful, these guys are tough” Fear as in “NononoNONONO HELP ME! SOMEBODY HE- *high pitched shriek*” The swarm of them in that tar pit in the abyss of sens fortress makes me shiver, a difficult task not accomplished by many other of the monsters in Lordran.

The Titanite Demons are such a memorable part of Dark Souls I, partly because of their incredible design, and partly because of that GODDAMN JUMP

[@AR-zd1hd]

the fact that it happens with a late-game enemy that is far enough from a bonfire to make the farming more demanding makes it perfect i guess they would have patched it if it was Andre's demon but still i think those mistakes that turn out to be great features are the sign of great games because everything else is so solid, many things involuntary or overseen fit well with the rest

[@kingdomcome3914]

Not really, there's an obscured bonfire that's somewhat along the way to the respawning demon.

[@AR-zd1hd]

@@kingdomcome3914 which one ? the one near the dragon bottoms is pretty far

[@boonsaplenty3924]

​@@AR-zd1hd The bonfire in front of Quelaag's Sister, which is the closest bonfire to the Bed of Chaos

[@Lazerkat789]

Love knowing this, used to farm the guy a lot and now I appreciate that ability more

[@eatmarth]

I like the song in the background of this video. It reminds me of the laid back themes in anime, or other cartoons from the 90's-00's

[@Theblueblurrr]

As I learn to code, this cannel becomes more and more fascinating.

[@thnecromaniac]

I always thought it was intentional, interesting to learn it was a mistake they were ultimately fine with

[@sidneyrobinson18]

oh hey im so glad to see you're back! I remember watching one of your videos some time ago saying you were stepping away from souls content so this is a pleasant surprise

[@atticus999x]

Not me running back to the Bed of Chaos wishing this particular one didn’t respawn lol

[@darkfeeels]

Even after all these years you're making Dark Souls content. Great to see your channel thriving still

[@grfrjiglstan]

This is the equivalent of the grim reaper getting your address wrong and never showing up, so you get to keep living on a technicality.

[@AzzRushman]

First time on this channel, I really enjoyed the chill vibes of the video. 👍

[@jaxdakid5598]

i enjoy this music, it’s like Olimar is sitting on Zulie’s lap listening to the marvels of dark souls and elden ring

[@Jormyyy]

Never realized how tall the titanite demons would be if their leg wasn't broken and could stand up right...

[@terragamer7142]

Due to the lighting it always looked to me like his halo was actually golden. That made him special to me and gave me a reason to believe that he actually is supposed to respawn.

[@matty-john7362]

I don't know why but that funky ass music made me mega invested on the video

[@sabru72]

As a dev, it is my dream to be as good as these guys, that even my bugs would make the customer happy

[@roundpixelgames216]

Ok now I want to replay all souls games but with Zelda music

[@GeonXP89]

It's the only titanite demon I never bothered killing because of the place it's staying at (not to mention the arena itself) so I had no idea it respawned Great work to you and King Bore for finding and pointing this out!

[@Nick1921945]

I can't believe I never realized I could farm this guy. I knew he was always there but I never thought to take advantage of it

[@ZanosC-137]

Man, seeing its model standing up making me wonder what a non-damaged version of it would’ve fight like.

[@pats.7756]

i appreciate the choice of music for this video

[@MauricioOsuna-et8et]

> big enemy that can whack you from near and far > actually a loot piñata Thank you, Dark Souls.

[@hermeticinstrumentalist6804]

Love the lore and the chill music. Thank you.

[@cerez-secondforgetfulson]

Funnily enough, without knowing he would respawn before, he was my favorite demon statue to bully with my favorite standard but heavily titanite inforced "Mace", along with my Heavy Crossbow.

[@WorldBridger70]

I realized they respawned just last night as I was trying to clear the way. Had to keep running by it until I finally beat the Bed of Chaos for the first time

[@matn3443]

Getting 1:30 minutes of unskipable ads for a 2:45 min video is just wild

[@cerelvix_4662]

Ive tried farming him as a sword shield build and managed to take him down twice, but that was after many, many, MANY attempts. Most of them ending by getting stuck on one of the roots or getting launched off the side of the bridge

[@SuperParkourio]

I thought this demon was a deliberate obstacle for people trying to run to the Bed of Chaos.

[@AppleOfThineEye]

Thanks for the breakdown, Zullie! I agree with a lot of the folks here -- that it was probably an error at first that the devs later realized but then didn't change so that players would have a way to farm demon titanite. Certainly a lot more tedious than farming twinkling titanite though. Yeesh!

[@NameIII_]

actually great you made it such a short video. a lot of other people on this paltform would've turned this into a 2 hour video essey

[@paradoxpanic4053]

That was surprisingly fun and pleasent, good content
